Lovlina bags Indias third medal at Tokyo Olympics!
Lovlina moves on the front foot right from the start, looking for that knockout. Surmeneli, leading by 20-17, is taking it a bit easy now... avoiding her opponents punches. But midway through the third round, the Turk brings her A game and connects a left hook and an uppercut. Lovlinas unfazed though, still tries her best. And the winner is... Surmeneli by 5-0! Lovlina settles for bronze!
Bronze for #IND!
